The new 2015 MINI 5-door hatch joins the F56 hatch which was
released earlier year. At the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the new five door MINI was
introduced for the first time to the public.

more foot space and legroom, 15 millimetres more headroom and 61 millimetres
more interior width at elbow height.
